Data mining is everywhere!

(Left: This is the note that Lehmann got).

Woorld Cup 2006: Keeper Jens Lehmann was handed notes before each kick to give him an edge in Germany's shootout win over Argentina, according to BBC.

Lehmann, who saved two penalties, was given a slip of paper before each kick detailing where the kicker was likely to put it.

Coach Oliver Bierhoff said: "He watched videos of all the penalties Argentina have taken in the last two years.

"He then consulted notes with our goalkeeping coach because you don't know who's on the list until the time."

Bierhoff added: "Before our knockout games against Sweden and Argentina we gave Lehmann information on the possible penalty takers.

"We then just told him to save two penalties, in case he forgot."

So how many SEO experts do data mining before they optimize others' websites?
